2026-11-08 06:01:55Even though Carl had not made anything yet, preparing the herbs and drawing the essence from certain plants helped Dorothy draw a few conclusions about what Carl was planning to concoct. She got a little excited and whispered, “Are you going to make a poison blend?”
Carl did not say anything in response. Dorothy was equally well-versed in these things, so there was no way he could hide it from her.“Aren’t you being a little too bold?” whispered Dorothy

Jason led the three of them down the long corridor past the living room and out of the first building. Ten minutes later, they finally came to the spacious yard of another house. While Carl was still looking around, Jason said casually, "The three of you can stay here. Don't wander about unnecessarily."With that, he turned and left without even leading them into the house. Carl watched him walk away and could sense that Jason did not seem to like him very much.He had no idea why, so he gave up thinking about it. He pushed the gate of the yard open and called out to Hervor and Dorothy to go in with him.Just then, someone called out from inside, "Who's there?"Carl was surprised. Was there someone else was living here? The next thing he heard was a very excited—and familiar— voice. "C-Carl?! Is that you?"When Carl heard that voice, he stared into the house to see a young man hobbling out of a room with a look of utter disbelief on his face. "Ca

It turned out that the Romarin residence was actually right next to the Karolin residence. This was not surprising, since all the aristocrats lived within the area surrounding the palace. The two clans were equal in terms of standing and clout, so it was only natural for their residences to be close to one another.To Carl's dismay, there was no conflict between the Romarin family and the royal guards. After Kane gave the order, the Romarins opened the gate and allowed the royal guards to enter without putting up any resistance.Even Dorothy could not help but balk at this. "Don't you think they're being a little too cooperative? Are they not going to even put up a fight?"Grand Duke Karolin scoffed, "They are just afraid to give me a reason to slaughter them.""They're getting off too easy," grumbled Dorothy as she made a face."Don't worry, things aren't going to end so simply," said Grand Duke Karolin calmly. "Anybody from Philigia they find inside the ho

Immediately after walking into the dark tunnel inside the wizard tower, Carl lost his balance for a second before realizing he was now at the entrance to the palace. He quickly realized that Raphael must have set up magic circles not only within the tower, but possibly throughout the palace and even the capital so as to limit the movement of people in and out of certain areas.While he was thinking about these things, he heard Dorothy's relieved voice. "Phew! We made it out safely after all… Irina, I was so afraid that we wouldn't be able to make it out alive just now. I was really too naïve to think that my evidence alone would be sufficient to uproot the Romarins. We nearly lost our own lives in the process instead."Carl shook his head slightly and looked a little depressed as well. "The palace is not a place that cares about truth and justice. It only cares about capability and profit.""You're right, Carl." Grand Duke Karolin had a calm look in his ey

Although Grand Duke Romarin turned out to be a Sunlight Knight as well, Grand Duke Karolin seemed more powerful. After his lightning web had been broken by Grand Duke Romarin's sun, he made a sun rise from behind him as well.The two suns in the air clashed again and again, filling the tower with a blinding brilliance. However, when Carl compared the two, it seemed like Grand Duke Karolin's sun was bigger and stronger.Boom! Boom! Boom! The collision of two imposing forces nearly destroyed everything in their way. The shock waves caused by the collisions turned into mighty winds that blew through the entire tower, making the hearts of everyone palpitate in fear.Carl also went into a daze watching the two grand dukes fight. A fight between two Sunlight Knights turned out to be just as destructive and exhilarating as a fight between two mages.He sighed quietly to himself. Unfortunately, he could not become part of such a battle since he was still too green. He wo

Raphael was involved now, so Kane did not dare to do anything rash. He gritted his teeth and glared furiously at Carl. "Carl, how dare you slander Heath like that! Are you trying to become enemies with the Romarins?"Joel scoffed as he stood next to Carl. After glistening moons flew up from behind his back, the pressure exerted on Kane increased manyfold. "Kane, we've barely seen anything of this footage and none of us know what's going on yet. How are you so sure that Carl is slandering Heath?"What Joel said made sense. Everyone turned to look at Kane, suspicion clear in their eyes. Kane's expression flinched several times but he could not answer Joel at all.Meanwhile, the Recording Fly was not affected by the tension below at all and continued replaying the footage it had captured of Heath and Colin talking to one another. Their voices could be clearly heard by everyone in the tower, making their faces pale as they gasped in shock.It never crossed any of the
Chapter 139
The fact that King Harold had personally invited Carl to become one of his loyal subjects was surprising, since the king normally left such matters to his subordinates. Yet, it seemed only natural for the king to do so. That giant beast from the Abyss was valuable beyond measure and as the person with the formula that could turn this monster into treasure, Carl was most certainly worthy to be called upon by the king himself.Besides, the king had already said before this that the one who won the apothecary competition would not only receive a large amount of cash, but would also be conferred a title. Harold was just going through with what he had promised.Everyone could already imagine what would happen next. Carl would pledge his allegiance to the king, be accorded the title of baronet and end this competition beautifully with an elaborate celebration banquet within the palace.Of course, there were some who exchanged shifty glances. They, too, needed the drug that
